In this kind of case it may happen the block size selected for the FS while its creation is different, so you can grow the FS by taking the size from( vxassist -g dgname maxsize diskname) command as mentioned below:

# vxassist -g oradgh maxsize emcpower67
Maximum volume size: 230391808 (112496Mb)

# /etc/vx/bin/vxresize -g oradgh fh01vol +230391808 emcpower67

# df -h /fh01
Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/vx/dsk/oradgh/fh01vol 934G 771G 153G 84% /fh01

So the FS grown as above.. Please let meknow if any doubts..

metastat: host: data1: must be owner of the set for this command

Hi All,

For this error, Please run teh below command. don't worry if it is not a cluster set as well. But if it is a cluster set then confirm that it is not imported on other server.

#metaset -s data1 -C take
It would import the diskset and problem would be resolved.

Thanks,
Yogesh

Local zone state changed after Patching

Hi All,

This is my first post to forum and the problem is related to Solaris Zones:
Issue: Solaris Local zone state changed to incomplete after patching Solaris recommended patch Cluster.
Troubleshooting and Resolution:
# zoneadm list -ivc
ID NAME STATUS PATH BRAND IP
0 global running / native shared
- seedzone incomplete /rpool/seedzone native shared
I moved to /rpool/seedzone and saw a extra file SUNWdetached.xml under that. I removed that file and also change the state of the local zone from incomplete to installed in /etc/zones/index. The issue got resolved. I rebooted the server and issue never came back.
Thanks,
Yogesh
